I found the whole meeting very interesting. I really didn't know much about the Women's Institute apart from that I learnt watching Jam and Jerusalem. We did sing Jerusalem but there was not a jar of jam in sight.
The theme was Inspiring Women and it was also the WI's centenary! There was the usual business of an AGM but there was also a very inspiring talk by National Chair Janice Langley.
There was also a talk on Lady Brunner and the WI by her son Sir Hugo Brunner and there is an exhibition on the topic at a nearby National Trust, Greys Court, where she used to live. We recently made a quick visit to see the bluebells but I am going to go back and take some time at the exhibition.
There were awards given for a variety of topics. I was very pleased to hear there was a competition to design bee hotels! Bees are very important to our ongoing food production. It was suggested I should join but I'm a bit busy at the moment but it's certainly something I shall consider in the future.
